Oh. My. Gawd.

I had thought my poor Miami Dolphins could not possibly be humiliated any more this week. But I was wrong. Which is the worst possible aspect of this article?

A) That somebody came up with the idea to build a 26 foot statue of Jason Taylor that looks like a cross between G.I. Joe and the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man?

B) That somebody decided to set it up in Trafalgar Square in order to promote the 'Fins-Giants game at Wembley next Sunday? (Because for my money, nothing is going to attract the Brits to American-style football like this thing. Right!)

C) That the statue is pictured here getting felt up by Christian Slater?

I think I'm going to go home, drink an entire bottle of single malt, and cry the rest of the season away.

(Sobbing Yips! to Dave Barry.)

1 Um, yea. Great idea. Did the NFL borrow the inflatable guy from Les Schwab Tires?

It looks like he should holding holding up a banner reading, "Buy a set of tires, get free beef".

2 Jason Taylor, meet Bibendum. Hey, it is Europe, after all.

3 Although one doesn't necessarily expect to get felt up by Chrstian Slater in Europe.

Mickey Rourke, possibly.

Under a certain age, Roman Polanski, quite likely.

And Gerard Depardieu, definitely.

4 What was that Depardieu movie where he's a pianist who goes to some resort with his teenage daughter but somehow people think she's his child-lover? There's a hilarious scene where he starts singing, "Sank 'eaven for leetle gerls!"
